Exciting Power of Oats.

Oats are said, by a scientist who
has brought his battery to bear on
a horse, to have an exciting power.
The effect on the nerves aud mus
cles were tested aftel eating oats
and compared with their excitabil-
ity before eating. Old horse men
know that oats will make horse
more lively or active than any 9TH
er grain. They contain nerve and
muscle food, or the elements to
supply the ware and waste of
these parts, and no doubt they
stimulate them also. They con-
tain, according to this authority,
nitrogenized substance peculiar to
themselves. All oats contain this
peculiar property, but the black
oats have the most. When oats
are ground the exciting effects are
reduced in strength and duration,
but itsaeffects are more active.
ThisIpeculiar substance isl called
avenine. The soil where oats are
grown make ditfe rance in the
amount of avenine produced
Further investigation must be
made to determine the kind of soil
best adap' ed to produce the nerve
power Of the oats. This is getting
farming down to a fine point. Here
is an opening for the jockeys. Ii
they had the secret and could Sc
lect their oats, how they might
skip by the other fellows who
thought one oat was as good as
another. The weight of the meat
of the oat does not make the diff
ference, as the substance is just
underneath the skin, and not ap-
parent without analysis. Farm

GIeanings.

The editors of the Science have
been making an investigation as
to the healthfulness of the milk
produced by cows fed upon the
waste from distilleries. Reports
have been furnished them by the
Neutrality-suspicious. and sanitarians
of the country, which display
most remarkable difference of
opinion. While the majority con-
slider "dtstillery swill' as utterly
unfit for food, and the milk pro-
duced by cows fed upon it as
dangerous to use, others whose
opinion is equally authoritative
claim that cows so fed continue in
good condition, and produce nutri-
tious and wholesome milk. They
consider that, VIII IN the COWS show
evidence of disease, il is due to the
crowded and unsanitary conditions
likely to prevail in city stables.
Mr.. W. A. Henry, of Madison,
Wis, says: "Agriculturists have
only just learned that the sugar
beet is safe and profitable crop,
and it is unfortunate that those
engaged in such production should
be forced to other crops for want
of a sugar factory. The prejudice
against beet sugar has been over
come, and consumers now recog-
nize the facts that sugar produced
from beets has merits equal to that
of cane sugar. With those advant-
ages gained, it may very properly
be regarded as a misfortune to the
state if anything should now inter-
fere with the developments of this
industry"
On any rich piece of ground
fork in some fresh manure, pour
soapsuds over it, and lay an old
barn door upon the surface. In a
short time the earth beneath will
be full of earth-worms, which will
congregate under the cool protec-
ton Of the covering. Call the hens,
turn up the earth, and let them
scratch. At night trample the
earth down, replace the covering
and the mess of earth worms may
be repeated three or four times {

1t is true that many Of the stars of the
day have walked into the first position
without effort, but these events are
mainly the result of accident. Take Mary
Anderson's case, for example, than whom
probably no actress in the world to-day
can earn more money and is more justly
celebrated She was a Louisville girl with
out theatrical connections OF any kind.
She was possessed Of decided beauty, .
fine voice and hankering after the honors
of the stage. She played In a few anna
teur performances In Louisville and was
taken up by the enthusiastic residents Of
that section, who regarded her In her i'm
mature crudeness as wonder.
Mr.. Watterson, Of the The Courier
Journal, took sufficient interest In her to
induce Mrs Chanfrau, then the lessee Of
theatre in New Orleans, to give the
young Louisville girl an opportunity.
Mrs. Chanfrau, who was losing money,
saw the chance of firing the southern
heart, and announced the debut Of q
young southern girl.
Mary Anderson played Lady Mao
beth" and "Meg Merrilles, and 1t WAS
quite evident that the sectional feeling
caused by her appearance would alwsys
insure her good audiences In that portion
of the country. So the following season
John T. Ford, Baltimore maiiager, took
her up and starred her In southern states.
From that time she was safe, and by the
time she reached the north she had gained
sufficient experience to become, II not
good actress, at all events less than bad
one.
But she travelled around this country
for three years before New York gave her
an opportunity, and then 10 only came
because the lessee Of the Fifth Avenue
theatre could find nothing else to put in
their house. In fact Miss Anderson's
drst three engagements In New York did
not yield her a penny. She never reached
the point at which she could share in the
rsceipts.-New York journal.

Boys Engaged in Speculation.

In the old produce exchange building
there was room In which some ffty boys
of from 16 to 20 years of age, connected
with various houses, met to clear grain
contracts or "rtng" them out. They
knew as much about the modus apsrandi
of spec culation as their employers and
socn put the fact to proof. It was not
long before the boys began to hold calls
twice day, the same a. their employers.
They traded only In 100 bushel lots; they
settled the difference, rang out their con-
tracts, traded "between calls" by going
around to one another 3 oflees and In most
respects indeed clossly initiated their en-
ployers. The one startling innovation
was that they required no margin; they
wers still SO young that they relied On the
honor of the trader.
Yet singular to say,-no Of the boys
ever laid down. on their contrsGts, and
there was only one serious failure This
was when one Of them annOuAoed his in
ability to meet his liabilities ct tS5. He
was not sold out under the rule, but .
Pariah or leper was not more despised
or Stunned than this youthful bankrupt
was ever after. The boys all carried note
books in which to jot their transactions,
Just like their employers. One Of them
careless1y left his book on desk In his
Office ore Cay and his employer happened
to see it.EtIts revelations were astound-
ingy. Here, was q broker In embryo who
made the eyes OF his "boss' start out like
those Of a'clioked toad. That ended the
boys call. ,Ths alarm was sounded, and
under severe penalties the juvenile option
business was suppressed. When the new
exchange was opened, however, some of
the boys who had grown up began to
speculate, in the ring, while others de-
voted their spare time to the bucket
shops, the establishments which, by Gu
riOus farce, are allowed to do business
when the horse or card gambling resorts
are raided by the police.-Nsw York Cor.
